I don't understand all of the negative comments. There are several was to accomplish this joint. She simply displayed one way to complete the task.

Even simpler two cuts with a handsaw ! ?

having been a carpenter for the last ten years im not impressed by what you have just shown me, its less than half a job, where is the chisel work to finish?

It is called a Half-lapped joint people, and this is only half of it I am sure beginners would be confused. you obviously have sills though. Cheers

I was expecting to see a half joint at the end of this. All I saw was a bit hacked out of a piece of wood.

I don't see why the complaints. She started, finished ...and I see a completed half joint. She has moved on.

Good video but I still think women should not work with saws..It's too dangerous for you. leave that to your boyfriend. Thanks for the video.

if your chisel is sharp ....and I mean really sharp...scarey sharp....you don't need physical strength the wood will "surrender"

[Buzzsawman]

if you have to use a hammer to pare away the excess with a chisel.....you don't have a sharp chisel

[stewartx5]

@Buzzsawman '.. if you have to use a hammer ..'

Or perhaps she just doesn't have the physical strength to chisel large pieces without a hammer. When I have a big job to do, I rarely wear myself out by using brute force either - especially when there's an easier, just as effective, way immediately available.
